NEW! Use with ARRL's online Exam Review for Ham Radio.

Designed for self-study and for classroom use. Intended for all newcomers, instructors and schoolteachers.
Discover the excitement of ham radio. The Amateur Radio Service offers a unique mix of public service, technology and experimenting with electronics-all with an emphasis on fun. Some hams use their skills to provide communications during
emergencies and disasters when all else fails. Others enjoy talking to people across the country and around the globe, participating in local contests and building experiments. The ARRL Ham Radio License Manual will guide you as you get
started in the hobby-as you select your equipment, set-up your first station and make your first contact.

Welcome to Amateur Radio
Radio and Signals Fundamentals
Electricity, Components, and Circuits
Propagation, Antennas, and Feed Lines
Amateur Radio Equipment
Communicating With Other Hams
Licensing Regulations

Safety
